Subject: [IBIS-Users] IBIS ver5.0 [composite current] and [ISSO PU/PD]

- --0015175cd70e6eca3704a4a0828f
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Dear all,
As I know, for solving the SSN problem, IBIS version 5.0 adds section
[composite current] and [ISSO PU/PD]. Then I have some questions:
1. How will the simulator work with the [composite current]? Does it
directly adopt the power terminal current value at the [composite current]
when the input voltage over the threshold voltage? But I feel different
rise/fall time will lead to different current value at the power terminal.

2. The section [ISSO PU/PD] is likely to provide a gate modulation
coefficent on the original output current. In specification, the
Ipu=Kpu(t)*Ipu(Vcc-Vout(t))*Ksso_pu(Vtable_pu) and
Ipd=Kpd(t)*Ipd(Vout(t))*Ksso_pd(Vtabke_pd). so does it mean the total output
current is Ipu+Ipd? how does the simulator decide the value of Kpu(t) and
Kpd(t) according to the data in IBIS file?

Thanks and regards,

Yuancheng

Since the beginning of IBIS, the most accurate simulators would turn the 
RLC package parasitics into a transmission line equivalent.  In lieu of 
any additional information it is the most reasonable thing to do, since 
packages can be approximated as transmission lines.

Brad,

 

 I don't think we really disagree, but let us simplify the statements

 Given the model you have, what would you agree with:

*         Single RLC Model ala Simple IBIS

o        This does not model the resonances

o        This provides a large discontinuity to a high speed edge

*         Simple Tline model using RLC Characteristics

o        This does not model resonance

o        Better match to actual (ie less ringing than Lumped model)

*         Better does not mean accurate or correct, just closer to the
desired than a lumped model

*         Package model description in IBIS 

o        Allows finer grain description of detailed models

*         This can be multiple lumped RLC models or multiple Tlines or any
combination.

*         In the limit, a Tline segment can be modeled as multiple RLC
pieces to represent a distributed nature

o        Will model resonances you speak about at least at first order

 

I assume that you will agree with all of the above.

 

Therefore, what I am saying is that interconnect, by its very physical
nature represents a distributed RLC structure. Modeling any segment that
is long compared to the edge rate of the signal is better modeled as a
Tline than a lumped model such that the distributed nature of the segment
can be captured. 

 

For the example you cite, a simple RLC does not model the behavior and
there is no rational to believe just making the model into a tline model
would fix that issues. However, for a multi-segment model using lumped
values for each segment, my experience is that using tline models for all
segments that have length greater than the 1/3 to 1/2 the rise time
(Almost always the case with high speed signals), that a tline description
is better than the RLC description. This is true even in the
multi-segmented implementation

hi guys,

 

Guess we'll agree to disagree.

 

I have experience with any number of simple packages that violate your

"better" supposition for a uniformly distributed TL model. Why would this

occur, because I completely agree with you that it is counter intuitive.

 

From a package I recently characterized in some detail for system SI/PI

analysis; let's say the net behaves as static RLC to 2Ghz, then at about

4GHz there is some form of resonance in the signals or the planes. There's
a

suckout in the response and then at higher frequencies it behaves more
like

the TL you guys propose. If you assume the TL, then you completely miss
this

behavior, and I do mean "completely". For this DDR bus you probably don't

care about the spectrum above 8GHz where it is again more TL like. But you

certainly DO care about the spectrum between 2Ghz and 6Ghz where it looks

nothing like a TL. If I choose properly a TEE or PI circuit to model the

behavior in this mid frequency range (since either works to 2Ghz) then you

get a much better transient system-level simulation than using your
proposed

TL model. This is true even though the TEE/PI response at higher
frequencies

is much worse than the uniform TL model. There is energy in the mid
spectrum

but not in the high spectrum for this application. If I use a multi-stage

RLC model then select the element values to fit the broadband response
then

I can get match at both mid and high frequencies to well 10Ghz and make
all

of us happier (but maybe not to 40GHz).

 

This is NOT a corner case. I see it in many of the package I characterize.

If I was trying to do a best fit to 40Ghz for this same package because my

signals had energy spread out that broadband, then it would probably be

better to use the uniform TL model. However, not all applications call for

it and the system is much better characterized with a model more correct

where the signals actually have energy.

 

cheers,

 -Brad
